Bob, had so many nicknames Bobert, Dragon, Rent-A-Bob, Robert, Shish kebab, to name a few!
Bob was a quirky dude, loved his turnout, hated bugs, loved being vacuumed, hated being groomed! He was a great teacher and filled many roles! He showed with us in open pleasure driving, and junior exhibitor park and show pleasure as well as academy. His life started with Bob Funkhouser and his wife Raye Lynn showing in the park pleasure division and then pleasure driving. When we bought him his name was Beau. We changed it to Bob after Bob Funkhouser.
When the kids showed him in academy he was either first or last. His great headset helped give his riders the best equitation form possible but his sidewinding into the middle of the show ring earned his exit from our academy string. He loved being at home and was less likely to make his way into the middle of the arena. He did go on to teach countless lessons and although he was kinda the Grinch to work around he had many admirers from those who rode him and from those who loved his quirky personality. He used to have a stall guard up and he would crane his head off to the side seemingly looking for a head scratch. However he was just being his goofy self secretly hoping for a passerby to give him an extra treat! He had a floaty trot and simple canter transitions. His walk was a little different with a lot of movement. Students had to work to sit quietly on him as he strolled along! In his younger years he was the horse we put students on to feel what a show horse was like. He eventually became a good babysitter and many littles went on to ride him. He earned his retirement this past year and spent his last few months turned out with his buddies enjoying the green grass and sunshine. Thank you Bob for all the memories but most of all thank you for all the lessons you taught!
